Kraken Set to Capitalize on Flyers Fatigue in Home Opener

The Flyers will be facing their fourth consecutive West Coast road game as they open the season against the Kraken. Having already played away games against the Canucks, Flames, and Oilers, Philly has yet to have a home game. Conversely, Seattle will have the advantage of returning home after three consecutive road games. With the Flyers likely to be fatigued from their rigorous road schedule, the Kraken are poised for victory. It is recommended to consider placing a bet on Seattle to win by taking them on the money line.
